I listened to All The Missing Girls via my phone while driving around in Texas. Driving makes it difficult to concentrate and the fact that the author, Megan Miranda, wrote the book backwards didn't help. She starts out at day 15 and ends up at day 1. The narrator is Nicollette Farrell who is back in town to help her brother make final arrangements for their father. The father is in a memory care unit and he does not want the house to be sold. He keeps talking about how his daughter won't be safe if they sell the house. Nicollette is engaged to a hot shot lawyer in Pennsylvania and he helps her draft documents to take over guardianship of her father. Later the police visit the father in the nursing home and interview him which makes him upset. The memory care unit uses drugs and physical restraints on the father. The fiancée drafts court documents prohibiting the police from interviewing the father. I thought the characters were well developed and the story line moved along steadily. This book might be better in paper form than audio especially when driving.
